I'm back at knitting Hexipuffs. I challanged myself to knit 10 for the Modular Relay in Ravellenics and ought to finish the last one tonight. That'll bring me to a total of 50 hexipuffs out of the 80 I need to knit for Henni's rug. I'm getting there... slowly but surely ;)
However, while looking through the Modular Relay on Ravelry I found my new addiction. Remember how I didn't know what to do with the rest of Tami's yarn? I found my answer:
Megan's Puzzle Pieces. I could not resist them, so now I know what to do with all my left-over fingering weight yarn for the foreseeable future.
Left-over weighted yarn is a different matter altogether. Still haven't figured that one out ;)
My nieces and nephews are slowly discovering that I knit. I've knit a shawl for my sister, and Monday she went out to buy yarn for some gloves and a cowl as well. My nephew found some yarn he really liked, and asked my sister if I could knit something for him.
"What would you like?" she asked.
"A dragon!!!"
What's a mother to do - she calls up Auntie Ria and asks if she can knit a dragon. I'm not too adventurous when I don't buy the yarn myself, but thanks to Ravelry I found this Dragon hat and will of course have to give it a try. Hopefully it'll fit his request ;) But I love how kids just assume adults can do ANYTHING ;)
Good luck with the dragon. Of course, you can do it! ;-)
ReplyDeleteHehe - thanks! :)
Delete50 out of 80 done - you are a powerhouse! That dragon hat looks cute, I think you'll do great :D
ReplyDeleteThank you! It helps that I was off work the first week after I started, and got 4 made a day! THAT has certainly slowed down now, but I still aim for 1 a day.
DeleteThanks :)
Good luck with the dragon. The puzzle piece is too cute.
ReplyDeleteThat's what I thought - I simply couldn't resist it :)
DeleteThat hat is so cool! I'm sure it will look great and he'll love it!
ReplyDeleteOh dear. The dragon hat just grew me queue again! Too cute!
ReplyDeleteI wonder if he means a life-sized dragon? LOL!
ReplyDelete50/80 hexipuffs is very good progress indeed!
Ha! I Hope not! Nah, I think he meant a stuffed dragon, but fortunately a dragon-hat was acceptable ;)
DeleteThe puzzle piece pattern is great! Great job on the hexipuffs! I need to get back to mine.
ReplyDeleteI am impressed, someone who is working on the hexipuffs! I loved the idea, but making them required commitment! Good luck with the dragon hat!
ReplyDeletelove that puzzle blanket, had not seen it before, thanks for the link.
ReplyDeleteI hadn't either, so I figured I would share :)
DeleteWhat an AMAZINg idea for the left over yarn. The puzzle pieces will be awesome
